Please don't give Daboll ANY credit for the Saints win. He was handed 14 points from Rob's defense. His offense gained a total of 12 first downs. One was the Reggie Hodges 68ish yard run. Another was the 40 yard pass interference call. So you take away the gimmick play and the pass interference you got 10 first downs..
He called a good game against the Pats, but there have been plenty of horribly called games. Here is Daboll's play sheet.

Pass to Hillis.

Shout out to kalbears13. Best DC sig'er EVER!!!

Well Dolphins hired your former turd OC, Daboll. What can you educated Browns fan who watch all the games tell me about this guy offense?

We didn't have alot of talent, so what we saw could have been misconceived.

*He's predictable when the game is on the line......run, run, 2 yard pass, punt
*On occassion it'll look like he has a tremedous offensive mind, next game you wanna hang him
*His offense here favored the TE and RBs

Phins got some better overall talent, so Daboll may impress this year, good luck with him.

Browns just cut LB's Eric Barton and David Bowens, DL Kenyon Coleman and Shaun Rogers, TE Robert Royal and OL John St. Clair.

I'm so so glad that piece of **** in shoulder pads St. Clair is out of here. Barton wasn't going to make the team anyways.

I really liked Bowens and Coleman but the switch to the 4-3 pretty much killed whatever value they had. I thought maybe Coleman could be a DT still but maybe the staff felt different or wanted to clear his 2.5m salary and 1m roster bonus.

Royal was a great blocking TE but a 3rd string TE making over 2m. I thought Rogers is the most surprising but then again maybe not. 6+m with salary and roster bonuses to a man who can't stay healthy and is never conditioned. I was just intrigued to see him line up next to Rubin in the middle.

The Browns should definitely go best player available this draft...
Fairley, Darues, Bowers, Quinn, Peterson or Green - One of them should fill a big need (Peterson maybe not a big need).

My guess is Rogers will play well for his next team for a year or two. When he went to Cleveland from Detroit he was motivated to play well. Lions fans I talked to wondered where that effort was when he was playing for them.

Once Mangini was hired Rogers pretty much did what he wanted it seemed like. Got out of playing pre-season for the most part (or all of it maybe), and I've heard comments that he practiced when he wanted to and Mangini was tired of it by 2010 season's end.

Rogers' conditioning was not as good in 2010 as it had been the previous couple of years, but that was at least partly because he broke his leg towards the end of the '09 season, and I had the impression he was behind schedule getting into shape for the season, and never caught up.

He'd be better as a 4-3 DT as he likes to penetrate rather than take up space as a NT in the 3-4.

He'll have time this off-season to get into better shape, and considering he'll be overpaid again by some team, he'll be motivated for a year or two. That's the most optimistic possibility in my opinion. It'll depend on what attitude he brings to the team. If he decides he wants to be motivated, he'll help a team. Even better if they play the 4-3 rather than the 3-4.

Would have been nice to get something for Rogers, but I'm pretty sure I heard or read trades are not allowed until a new CBA is agreed to. Even if that's not the case, his 5.5 mil salary, 500,000 roster bonus, and 100,000 bonus for something else, may have made it impossible to trade him. If trades are allowed my guess is Heckert and Holmgren worked the phones and couldn't get anything for him. Rogers didn't contribute enough last season to make him worth that type of money to another team.

In a way I'm sorry to see him go, because Rubin and Rogers as DT's in the 4-3 would have worked out well.

I'm sad every time I watch the Jets play and see S.Ellis beasting. Rogers has just as much talent, if not more, but is all but done in the league as a difference maker-whether it's injuries, conditioning or whatever.
